As pretty much a monoglot, I feel a certain sense of unease in daring
to correct the English of people whose language skills are clearly far
beyond mine, but here are a few minor tweaks, just to make me feel
better :)
"You're looking at the Gr?nsee (means "green lake")": I'd lose the
'means' and just have '("green lake")' - everyone will know it's a
translation.
"The sea is currently fully filled with cold glacier water which comes
directly from the near Findel glacier": I'd use 'lake' here, instead
of 'sea', as you did in the previous sentence. Also, I'd suggest
deleting 'fully', and using 'nearby' instead of 'near'.
"a almoust perfect mirror image": 'an almost'
"On the left you could see a small part": I think 'can see' would be
better here.
Great pano, by the way - very atmospheric, and an amazing feeling of
stillness.

That depends on your software. I'm only familiar with Mac programs,
but there's a series of fields you can set in "Make Cubic" to set the
initial view, though you have to do it by trial and error, building
the pano each time, looking at the result and then tweaking the
settings and building again until you've got what you want.
ClickHere's Cubic Converter has a button you can simply press once
you've got the view you want. Unfortunately, there's nothing I'm aware
of in QuickTime Player.
(Sudden thought: maybe I've misunderstood you here. Are you perhaps
asking for a set of fields in the WWP upload section, which would set
the pan angle for the web display through parameters/attributes of the
object and embed tags?)
Best wishes,
